NEW ORLEANS – For almost three centuries, New Orleans has faced many challenges. Today, there are new challenges that confront the region – climate change and rising sea levels, land subsidence and coastal erosion, and lack of equity and opportunity for all New Orleanians to grow and thrive. As part of 100 Resilient Cities, powered by The Rockefeller Foundation, the City of New Orleans will release its first ever Resilience Strategy with an aim of becoming a global leader in urban resilience.
